Meganola
Images od Meganola dentata at BOLD here and at Moths of Southeastern Arizona here show specimens with PM lines that are more jagged especially the inner half. Compare with your image here which does look right.

Perhaps M. minor, conspicua and fuscula should be considered. I'm thinking all your Meganola spp. images, which do not show a jagged PM line are of M. fuscula.

Edit: Just got word from BP. I understand that you're sending specimens to BOLD so no need to respond.

Might be 8986 - Meganola dentata
....but there are undescribed species and also probably forms that little is known about. DNA might help. (no rsvp, thanks)
